Build Back Better
According to the EDA website, “[t]he Build Back Better Regional Challenge is designed to assist communities nationwide in their efforts to build back better by accelerating the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and building local economies that will be resilient to future economic shocks.”
“The $1 billion allocated to the “Build Back Better Regional Challenge will provide a transformational investment to 20-30 regions across the country that want to revitalize their economies. These regions will have the opportunity to grow new regional industry clusters or scale existing ones through planning, infrastructure, innovation and entrepreneurship, workforce development, access to capital, and more.”
Eligible organizations can apply for these funds now. The program consists of two phases:
- “50-60 regional coalitions of partnering entities will be awarded [approximately] $500,000 in technical assistance funds to develop and support three to eight projects to grow a regional growth cluster.” The Phase 1 deadline is October 19, 2021.
- “EDA will award 20-30 regional coalitions $25-75 million, and up to $100 million, to implement those projects.” The Phase 2 deadline is March 15, 2022.
The Build Back Better Regional Challenge represents a great opportunity for institutions of higher education to partner with local industries and community workforce development programs to implement new technical training programs that will benefit workers.
